UEFA Champions League 2022-23, Chelsea Vs Borussia Dortmund 2nd Leg: Chelsea Ease Pressure On Graham Potter By Beating Dortmund To Reach Champions League Quarter-Finals - In Pics

Chelsea eased pressure on their boss Graham Potter by beating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Stamford Bridge to progress to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League 2-1 on aggregate on Tuesday. Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz, with a twice-taken penalty, got the goals as the Blues won in consecutive games in all competitions. The Englishman's job was on the line after a season that has so far failed to deliver any return on a world-record injection of over £500 million ($600 million) in one season on new signings. But Chelsea's stars showed up in time to remain in the hunt for a third European Cup. Havertz's penalty early in the second half meant Potter's men scored more than once for the first time since December 27, but the German international needed two spot-kicks to make his mark.
